Why are you using a single opaque list instead of separate, meaningful
attributes for each datum?

Use __qualname__ and chop off the last dotted part (i.e. the innermost

You have a Windows end-of-line \r\n instead of

use some form of IPC or RPC (e.g. XML-RPC, Unix domain sockets, etc.).
There will be some degree of extra overhead involved no matter which

As you've already been advised, the way to avoid a console is to use
pythonw.exe (which is a windowed Python
tely opened** on object creation, when a port is
given. It is not opened when port is None and a successive call to
open() will be needed."
So the port is indeed already open since you specified
port='/dev/ttyUSB0'; thus, your .open() call is redundant.

(cod[p],p+1) is a two-item tuple with [0] equal
to keep the dictionary around? That would surely
be the most logical thing to do. (With, of course, no quotes around
self.level.)
But out of your two options, I'd go with the loop. It's clear what
you're doing and doesn't fiddle around with multiple translations.

It iterates as long as 'stack' has something that evaluates as true.
My guess is that stack is a list, and the loop is removing elements
from that list, so it'll keep going as long as there's anything

subclasses).
Also, as a general point of coding style, one normally omits the
parentheses after the class name if one isn't subclassing anything.

Anything you can imagine can be done in code. It's just a question of
how much work. :)

a `str` literal.
Implicit adjacent string literal concatenation then occurs.
Thus:
>>> print '"aa","bb ' b'","cc"'
"aa","bb ","cc"
Compare:
>>> print '''"aa","bb 'b'","cc"'''
"aa","bb 'b'","cc"
But really, literal_eval() should not be used for CSV; it won't handle
unquoted fields at all, among other issues.
